Yeah, yeah...so I had around two tiny beers, one which was served by an attractive Amstel Light-dude. So? All these burgers had me pretty done for the evening, but as I strolled towards the exit to start heading towards my car and my trip home to Aventura I noticed a gleaming sign promoting "Vibrant Rioja" wines from Spain.

While all 22 burgers (I tried a very slim amount of these due to long lines and a fully belly) had specific wines listed to pair with each one, I had yet to have a sip of vino. Interested to try one out, I stood in line for a chill rose wine which went down easy, the perfect nightcap for an evening spent chowing down and chilling out with the 2009 SOBE Wine and Food Festival crowd.

I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the weekend. I'll be there, sugar free Red Bull on hand. Oh yeah, and definiely armed with an awaiting glass of wine. This was delicious!
